*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are always tailored to the needs of the student. If you are a beginner, you will learn how to play the piano and read music. If you already play and wish to take your playing to another level, you can learn how to play in a particular style of music. Or, if you are an aspiring composer or song writer, you can learn to develop your own ideas with Burt's help.

Laguna School of Music

One of the jobs that really got me into piano teaching full time was a gig as Piano teacher at Laguna School of Music in Laguna Beach California where I gave lessons to individual students of all ages at the school, and travelled to give lessons at peoples homes. In addition, I taught class piano for classes of up to 12 students at local schools, including Summer camps and workshops.
